It would be nice if this settings tab had a status indicator for whether or not the torrent proxy is successfully connected or not, I’d imagine with three status:
- not configured
- configured but unsuccessful
- configured, successful, and active
Using Little Snitch Mini, it doesn’t seem the socks proxy is being used at all, as it just makes hundreds of ip address connections (none of which is the ip of the socks proxy). When checking tribler-core-error.log there is this error repeated:
[tribler-core PID:5332] 2024-07-04 17:15:50,159 - ERROR <community:667> TriblerTunnelCommunity.on_packet_from_circuit(): Exception occurred while handling packet!

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Downloads/seeding still occurs, so this is concerning.
My proxy is configured like so:
